    Hi,

    Great plugin I must say initially, so well done! ??

    Quick enquiry:

    When we receive a completed form, is it possible to reply to the sender’s same form directly by simply hitting the ‘reply’ button rather than creating a fresh email and copying in the submitted email address?

    If so can you provide exact details how this can be achieved please?

    Thank you in advance for your time, it is genuinely appreciated.

    Kind regards,
    Andrew.

  • Using the default [your-name] <[your-email]> is very useful. It means you can simply hit reply to answer emails that you receive from people filling in your form. I use it on all my forms.

    But you need hosting that allows any email to be used as the From email. Most quality hosting does that.

    For some hosts though it needs to be a valid email on that domain. I would never use a host that imposes that restriction, but at over 10,000 downloads per day, it’s inevitable that some people will have hosts that do.

    As this is a very common question in this forum, Buzztone has written a detailed article on this topic, which the plugin author has linked to at Contact Form 7 Email Issues.
